I've been looking for something like this for long time, this app lets you search pictures for contacts by name from facebook without registering, works great but this is trial which can add only 5 pictures...
maybe some dev's from xda can make something like this.

Description from official site:
VT Contact Picture finds and allows adding a Picture to Contact from Facebook.
It extends Contact menu by adding new menu item "Add Picture from Facebook".
Picture is searched in Facebook Name fields.
You can adjust search criteria to match the name that could be found for this person.
While downloading pictures, you can browse them, view full-screen preview, and choose to add to your contact.
VT Contact Picture uses your mobile internet connection, so normal internet carrier charges apply.
It is fun to set photos for all your existing contacts without having to take photos – just find them on-line.
This is an easy and fast way to get a persons picture attached to your Contact.

Seriously the app is $4... If you like it just buy it. Developers need to earn a living too man...
You remind of this YouTube video...

Hi all,
I've got the HTC Home Plugin up and running now, and would like to make 1 change if possible...
Can the favorite-contacts tab be changed to use photo's instead of just the names?
to clarify: I'd like the tab to look something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I don't understand your question. HTC Home Plugin's Favorite tab should work the same way as you described. Tapping an empty box should pop up Contacts app from where you can choose whom to display among Favorites.
So, the problem can be
1. You chose persons from Contacts who has no photo attached. In this case the plugin can show the name only.
2. Your installed Home Plugin is buggy - if so, try another one; there are a lot avaible in the forum.
Good luck!
Yes you can´t specify the photo in HTC Home - you have to do this via pocket outlook contacts. than htc home should use the photos instead of the name
You're correct! Very sorry to have posted this, I thought I saved a photo with a certain contact, but apparently that went wrong. I assigned the photo to the contact again, and now it shows the photo!
By now you've probably noticed that when clicking through to a contact, their picture is stretched across the width of the screen (720 pixels). Since the max resolution supported by contact pictures in ICS is 256x256, this can have a less than desired effect. Even when manually adding high-res pictures (set as->contact), they will still only be saved to the cloud as 256x256.

However if you've avoided social media syncing, you probably didn't know that you can integrate this functionality to the contact page. While integrated, you can go from the normal contact page and flip to the right to get that persons social media updates (Google+, facebook, twitter, etc).
Why are these things related? Because when you integrate social media to contacts, the contact screen 'splits' somewhat and gives you a little tab up top so you know you can flip to the right.
Problem: not every wants social media sync'd, and not all your friends may necessarily use social media. What I want to do is force this 'flip' for every one of my contacts, and just have it be blank if there isn't social media sync'd or they don't have social media.
Could this be done?
Thought this was a good idea lol
I wonder on popular custom ROMS what metadata info is typically attached to a photo, if I have GPS settings off? Email, or real name? Could a person (as opposed to law enforcement) somehow trace this photo back to me ?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think only info like the focal length of the aperture, the fact that the phone is a SGS3 and the ambient exposure used for the photo.
Things like IMEI numbers wouldn't be stored with this, so they can't identify you directly, just the model of phone you used to take the photo.
Audio files store metadata. Images store Exif data. this data is encoded into the image file. some of it is read by windows but you can read alot more data from an exif reader. here is what mine puts out.

Interesting app. I will have to try this out. Thanks for posting. I think maybe you forgot your Google Play link

The main idea is to call a fake contact which triggers the previously configurated actions.
Steps to configure it:
1- Create the contact
2- Add it to favorites from Huawei Health
3- Create the action
(I used MacroDroid, in this case the Trigger is Dialing the phone number and the action is Plugin Locale / Tasker> Yeelight
4- I am still watching how to automatically hang up the call
View the results: Macro / Watch

We will have up to 10 contacts (10 actions, in principle) assigned to invented numbers.
For those who have enough smart devices at home, this is surely good news. You spend less time, you don't have to go and get the phone, and also you feel that your GT 2 is a little less limited.
Let's hope Huawei integrates a keyboard, note manager (text and voice), besides the ability to answer messages or interact with notifications.
In the meantime, I think this method can play a good role.
